Nice cable

Mark.

Brogan · 15-12-2003, 10:41 PM

Mark, without meaning to put a dampener on things....is that how the cable will look?
The plastic purple boot looks, dare I say it, a bit cheap and nasty...

Mark Grant · 15-12-2003, 10:45 PM

Hello Brogan,

Plastic, there top quality silicone rubber I think

I know what you mean, but people ask for them.

Looks a bit better in real life, the picture is a bit overexposed.

Boots could easily be cut off if anyone does not like them when cable arrives, or ordered without boots.

Mark.

Brogan · 15-12-2003, 10:59 PM

Presumably if the boot is removed you will just see the metal, hexagonal crimped sleeve?

Mark Grant · 15-12-2003, 11:02 PM

Yes, same as the picture in the digital coax thread, but with different cable.

Mark.

Brogan · 15-12-2003, 11:07 PM

Ah, much better

Out of interest, what improvement can one expect using one of these cables over a "standard" £20 Richer Sounds 5 metre interconnect?

As the sub is only ever utilised during the LFE portion of multi channel DVD's it would be difficult to test
I could re-configure my amp to direct all bass to the sub I suppose.

chris l. · 15-12-2003, 11:20 PM

Mark,

2 Nr at 2m please.

Cheque for £58 will be in post 1st class tomorrow AM.

Any chance of them going with my other order if it hasn't already gone - 1M digi coax x 1, 1M component x 2, 12M component x 1 (you might save a little on the postage).

Regards,

Chris L.

Mark Grant · 15-12-2003, 11:21 PM

Brogan,

I have never tried a Richer Sounds cable.

Results will depend on the subwoofer quality really.

a Subwoofer capable of real sub bass should benefit the most.

With a Servo 15 the results are excellent.

I am sure other people will comment when they have tried the cable.

How many metres do you need ?

Mark.

chris l. · 15-12-2003, 11:25 PM

Mark,

Any chance of a Y- sub cable ?

Regards,

Chris L.

Mark Grant · 15-12-2003, 11:28 PM

Hello Chris L.

Thanks for the order

Sent you email, (the other order has already been sent)

For a 'Y' sub cable you would need a 'Y' phono adapter, never seen a canare 'Y' two cables into one phono available yet.

thanks,

Mark.

Mark,

Sorry clicked on new thread in error (won't let me delete post?) - meant to post here. Please see 'Sub and Digital Cable Order' thread. Thanks.

I would like 1 x 5 metre & 2 x 0.75 metre please.

Brogan · 16-12-2003, 9:40 AM

Chips, I'm intrigued...what will you be using 3 sub woofer cables for - and 2 of them only 75cm?

chips · 16-12-2003, 9:45 AM

Two Servo 15s (side by side) aprox. 5 metres from the processor connected via a single X-30 at the sub end

.

Brogan · 16-12-2003, 9:52 AM

Aha. It all makes sense now.
Nice.

NicolasB · 16-12-2003, 10:35 AM

Mark, if you don't mind my asking, how does a "subwoofer cable" differ in construction from a standard line-level interconnect? Is it actually optimised for low frequency signals in some way?

Other question: those of us who use a Behringer Feedback Destroyer as a parametric equaliser on the front end of the subwoofer would need a cable that has an RCA plug at one end but a mono 3.5mm jack plug at the other end - could you offer a similarly high-quality cable like this, or doesn't anybody make impedance-matched jack plugs?

Rad · 16-12-2003, 11:59 AM

Mark,

Can I order a 8m one of these and an 8m Digital Coax as well.

Cheers,
Rich.

Mark Grant · 16-12-2003, 10:55 PM

Hello Rad,

Thanks for the order

Hello NicolasB,

The Canare LV77S is excellent as a subwoofer cable because of the Dual layers of braided bare copper screening (not tinned).

This gives a much lower resistance than the usual one layer of braid and one layer of foil. Great Hum rejection.

The Beekepers post mentions this, well worth a (long) read.

I doubt it was designed for subwoofer use, it just happens to be perfect for the job

I am sure you will hear good reports in a few days

Not sure on the inputs to a Behringher feedback destroyer, as I have never used one (yet). Something to look at when I get the time.

Mark.

chips · 17-12-2003, 12:30 PM

Cables arrived at 10:00 this morning, thanks mark

.

NicolasB · 18-12-2003, 3:32 PM

Doh! I just realised I said 3.5mm. I should have said a 6.3mm mono jack-plug (or "1/4-inch" as Behringer call it).

You can get the manual for the BFD (in .pdf format) off Behringer's website. Click here, and go to page 19.

**IronGiant** · 18-12-2003, 8:09 PM

My cable arrived today(along with it's digital interconnect friend) and will be plugging into a jack adaptor in a BFD. I'll report back when I get a chance, but as this is a clandestine experiment it might be a while

Dave

Jason S · 19-12-2003, 10:46 AM

So pleased with the results of the other cables (component and Digital interconnects) that I'll take one of these too

7 M please Phono's both ends.

Thanks

pringtef · 21-12-2003, 6:28 PM

Hi Mark,

Would like to order a 5 metre one of these.

Cheers,

Timbo

Mark Grant · 21-12-2003, 8:54 PM

Jason and Timbo,

Thanks for the orders, you should both have an email/PM,

Mark.

Rad · 22-12-2003, 2:25 PM

Mark,

Cables have arrived.

Cheers

Rich.

chris l. · 22-12-2003, 10:24 PM

Mark,

Sub cables arrived this morning, will get them warmed up over the next couple of days.

All the best for Christmas & New Year.

Chris L.

**IronGiant** · 24-12-2003, 1:38 AM

OMFG....

It was my wife's birthday and she wanted to watch the extended edition of The Two Towers (which we hadn't had a chance to watch yet.)

I snuck in my newly ordered Mark Grant digital connect and subwoofer cable to see if they wouild be noticed :-)

Our house nearly collapsed....

This is nice stuff.

Dave

Jason S · 24-12-2003, 1:10 PM

Cable arrived this morning, carpets up and cable down 10 mins later, just waiting to give it a good workout...

chris l. · 29-12-2003, 6:19 PM

Mark,

Y-cable

Do you think their is any posibility of you being able to magic together.

1 Canare RCA male feeding two 10cm lengths of Canare LV77S that are each terminated with 1 female Canare RCA.

If so could you give me a price.

Regards,

Chris
